Freed me from Iliotibial band (tractus)

After six months of operation Pause for tract problems and several unsuccessful visits to the orthopedic surgeon, physiotherapist and MRI this bandage was the surprising solution. For months I was in so much pain that his knee felt after 2-3 minutes of running, as if a knife's inside. And with this support I could just go through 5 km symptom-free and have arrived at 10 km after 2 months again. Since then, I had not even even begin discomfort.

At the tendons shorten the bandage changes indeed nothing but ensures that the symptoms no longer occur. The underlying problems but you should treat parallel through stretching exercises, the treatment with the Faszienrolle can not hurt.

Parallel I bought and tried, which is similarly effective, but a miserable portability also has the ITB band of the same manufacturer:

In contrast to the band version, the bandage slipped barely (a little, however, already) and is very comfortable to wear, not a constricted. With longer runs, sometimes there is a slight friction / irritation at the rear knee, but which does not interfere with large.

The only downside is a visual one: Despite Maßnehmens to guide the bandage is too large and the closures are about what looks stupid. Five cm more Velcro, and the score would be at 100%. Nevertheless, one can create the bandage tightly, and that's the main thing.
